Dr Bio® Polymer

Product

The world is evolving and the polymer industry has to make a rapid shift to a new situation where sustainability is a priority for governments, companies and consumers. The European Union, Indian Govt and more than 60 nations globally are restricting the use of mono-use materials. The vision for 2030 are to reduce the amount of plastics that go to the landfill. onventional materials, such as PE, PP or PS, have traditionally been used by the industry to produce containers and other plastic films that are obtained from fossil resources that, in many cases, due to multi-material mixtures or to food contamination cannot be easily recycled.

Solution

Dr Bio® polymer can be processed in most co extrusion or monolayer lines. Being made from corn starch they can degrade and are compostable within 6 months of exposure to landfil. They can be processed as carry bags, mailer bags, stretch films, hot and cold food packaging, shrink films, injection moulding, paper lamination, hygiene disposables, 3D printing etc.
